Mailspike rules all return 0.0
Hello,
I have noticed that the mailspike rules are enabled in SpamAssasin but
all return zero values:
0.0 RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_BL Mailspike blacklisted
0.0 RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_L5 RBL: Very bad reputation (-5)
etc.
Please can you tell me where in the SpamAssassin configuration I find
the setting(s) that need to be changed such that non-zero values are
returned.
I have been receiving large quantities of spam that instead of just
being flagged as spam would have met the conditions for being rejected
completely if either of the mailspike values had been 0.1 or greater.
Thanks in advance,
Simon

BTW, That was sarcasm. I am worried about rule generation and the box
switchover so I apologize if it seems accusatory. Just trying to dial what
is/is not working and why. :-)

I can't say about a RuleQA bug, but when these were first added I
investigated to see if they'd be worth a datafeed.
For our mail flow, they hit on a fair bit of mail.... but nearly all of
the messages were pretty strongly ham or spam without the MailSpike
hits, and they weren't hitting the intermediate mail, so I disabled them
all.
A quick crude eyeball through my personal domain's mail log (runs nearly
pure stock SA modulo minor Debianisms) shows plenty of hits, but the ham
is already strongly hammy (scores 0 to -10 or so) and the spam is
strongly spammy (only a light sprinkling at 9, and most of them close to
or over 20).

As Claudio said, local.cf is the place. Where your local.cf should be
depends on how your SpamAssassin was built, but there should be a
baseline version in the site rules directory. You can find that with:

Note that RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_BL is implied by RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_L5.

Re: Mailspike rules all return 0.0
Posted by Claudio Kuenzler <na...@gmail.com>.
On Debian based systems these rules are probably in
/usr/share/spamassassin. However you should not modify these rules but
rather overwrite the scoring.
You can do this in */etc/spamassassin/local.cf <http://local.cf>*, just add
something like this:
score RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_BL 0 4 0 4
score RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_L5 0 4 0 4
This would add 4 points to the scoring when these rules matched.
